4Q46 (also 4QpaleoDeut) is the fragment of a leather roll from the late 3rd century BC. The fragment was found in the cave 4 at Qumran at the Dead Sea in the 1950s and is now in the Rockefeller Museum in Jerusalem.
The fragment comes from the top of a roll and contains parts from the Dtn 26, 14-15 LUT in Palaeohebre script. This makes it one of the oldest preserved manuscripts of the Bible. The text obtained is identical to the Masoretic text. After verse 15 there is a vacat, which corresponds with the masoretical setting of a setuma. Remarkable is furthermore the division of words at the end of the line. Edit source text Weblinks Edit sourcetext
